Penske Media Corporation, Vi Magazine, Perry Broadcasting, and Publishing, KJAMs, Best Buy

Company Incorporated, Rodgersmith Hotels, and John and Jane Doe's 1-10. Amended Can Plaint,

Jerry Trial Demand, plaintiff Latoya Grayson, or Miss Grayson, buy-and-thriller attorneys,

hereby alleges and divers of the defendant Sean Combs, Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings, Sean John

Clothing, Atlantic Records, Mike Sabis, Delta Airlines, Crowbar Night Club, Penske Media Corporation,

Vi Magazine, Perry Broadcasting, and Publishing, KJAMs 105.3, Best Buy Company Incorporated,

Rodgersmith Hotels, John and Jane Doe's 1-10, collectively referred to as defendants,

alleges upon information and belief as to all other matters that follows.

Preliminary Statement. On November 16, 2023, Cassie Ventura filed a 35-page lawsuit

in which he exposed defendant Combs of subjecting her to nearly a decade of physical, sexual,

and emotional abuse punctuated by rape, sex trafficking, and being forced to engage and drug

fueled non-consensual sexual encounters with other men. Or, narrowly, when a lawsuit,

such as the one Miss Ventura has filed that involves events that took place long ago,

witnesses are few and far between, and evidence is hard to muster. Not so for the claims

brought against defendant Combs. Within minutes of the filing of Miss Chura's claims,

were confirmed by various witnesses, including a rival musician whose car defendant Combs blew up,

various individuals who observed defendant Combs, beat Miss Ventura, and a video released by CNN

showing defendant Combs physically abusing, battering, and assaulting Miss Ventura.

Since Miss Ventura's brave decision to file a lawsuit against defendant Combs,

defendant Combs has accumulated numerous lawsuits across the country for the same conduct alleged by

Miss Ventura. The number is growing and continuous in various jurisdictions throughout the United

States. In September of 2024, defendant Combs was arrested in the Southern District of New York,

where he's currently being held without, with no bond, while awaiting various serious criminal

charges. Plaintiff now alleges she too is one of the many victims of defendant Combs and the

other defendant's name herein. Plaintiff can support her allegations and is suffered extreme

emotional distress, impacting nearly every aspect of plaintiff's life and personal relationships.

Given all of the brave individuals who have come forward against defendant Combs, Plaintiff

is also doing the same. Plaintiff brings this action seeking injunctive declaratory and

monetary relief against defendants and violation of the Victims of Gender Motivated Violence Protection

Gender Motivated Violence Act NYC admin code section 10-1101

Jurisdiction in venue. This court has personal jurisdiction over the defendants

under and consistent with the constitutional requirements of due process

and that the defendants acting directly or through as agents or apparent agents committed

one or more of the following. The transaction of any business within the state, the making of any

contract within the state, the commission of a torturous act within this district, and the

ownership used or possession of any real estate in this state. As of the date of this filing,

defendants have consistently and purposefully availed themselves of the privilege of conducting

activities within New York, thus invoking the benefits and protections of New York law.

In return for these benefits and protections, defendants must submit to the burdens of litigation

in New York. This litigation arises from or relates to the torturous activities of the

defendant and what they visited upon plaintiff in New York. This torturous conduct violated

United States Federal Rico laws and other laws requiring defendants to litigate these claims

in the district does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.

Plaintiff's claims arise from conduct occurring by defendants in New York. This court has jurisdiction

over the action pursuant to US Code 28 section 1331 authorizing original jurisdiction over

civil actions which arise under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States.

This court also has subject matter jurisdiction under US Code 28 section 1331 and supplemental

jurisdiction under US Code 28 section 1367 because the state law claim forms part of the same case

and controversy as the claims arising under the federal statute.

Pursuant to US Code 28 section 1391 BC and 1400A venue is proper in this court because of

substantial part of the events or emissions giving rise to this action alleged herein occurred in

this district. Plaintiff brings suit against defendant pursuant to the NYC Gender Motivated Violence Act

NYC admin code section 8-901 to redress the substantial and lifetime injury she has suffered.

This court has personal jurisdiction over defendants and each of them because defendants have

purposefully directed their own lawful conduct to this judicial district and have conducted substantial

business in this judicial district procedural requirements. The NYC Victims of Gender Motivated

Violence Protection Act the NYC Victims of Gender Motivated Violence Protection Act

NYC Gender Motivated Violence Act created a lookback window on March 1, 2023 which runs for two

years for survivors of gender motivated violence allowing them to sue their abusers regardless

of when the abuse occurred NYC admin code section 10-1105 the NYC Gender Motivated Violence Act

revives any claims against a party who commits directs and ables, participates in or conspires in

the commission of a crime of violence motivated by gender as a cause of action against such party

in any court of competent jurisdiction. The appellate division has held that sexual assault is an

act of gender motivated violence under the law as coerced sexual activity is dehumanizing and

fear inducing. Malice or ill will based on gender is apparent from the alleged commission of the act

itself. Animus in here is where consent is absent, briefs verse haggis.

The conduct of defendants in battering and assaulting plaintiff constitutes a crime of violence

and a crime of violence motivated by gender against plaintiff as well as specifically at

defendant comms direction enabling, participating and conspiring in the commission of a crime of

violence motivated by gender defined by the NYC Gender Motivated Violence Act.

Given the extensive media coverage of the criminal trial brought by the Southern District of New

York and numerous civil lawsuits filed in both federal and state against defendant comms,

defendants were put on notice of the multiple allegations made against defendant comms including

drug trafficking, sex trafficking and racketeering. The parties defend in Sean Combs.

box. What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Diddy Diaries. In this episode,

we're going to pick up where we left off with the Latroya Grayson amended can plan against Diddy.

Plaintiff Latroya Grayson. Plaintiff is an individual who is a citizen of the United States and

a resident and domiciled in Oklahoma. Plaintiff at all times relevant to the action was a resident

and domiciled in the state of Oklahoma. Plaintiff at all times relevant to this action was 23 years old.

Plaintiff had never traveled to New York City prior to the events described herein,

and otherwise would not have traveled to New York City without being enticed by the scheme of

defendants. Plaintiff was the guest of her half-sibling who won the contest on defendants KJAM's

radio station and agreed to accompany her sibling on what she believed to be a legitimate,

all expenses paid trip to a Diddy White Party in New York in 2006, and her life has been

detrimentally impacted ever since. Factual allegations. The radio contest.

In late 2006, defendants KJAM's began promoting a contest on its radio station 105.3,

Jams in Oklahoma sponsored by Defendant Combs, BBE, Atlantic and Delta, offering the winner a prize

of an all-expenses paid vacation for two to New York City to attend a Diddy White Party.

At this point, Defendant Combs' White Parties were legendary and ongoing as they had begun in 1998

and were in full swing by 2006. Eagerly Plaintiff and her sibling tried to win the KJAM's radio contest.

Eventually, Plaintiff's sibling was able to win the contest. The contest included Roundtrip

Airfare for the winner and the guest, one hotel room in New York, and two tickets to attend Diddy's

White Party in New York. Upon information and belief, this was not a traditional White Party thrown

by Defendant Combs, as those typically occurred during Labor Day holiday, but a separate promotional

party. Initially, the party was scheduled for October 6, 2006, but was then rescheduled without

warning or explanation. Plaintiff received an initial letter from Atlantic providing instructions

on how to attend the party and the details of the party dated for the original date of the White

Party. The party was then scheduled for October 16, 2006. Plaintiff was provided a plane ticket

issued by Delta for departure on October 16, 2006, from Tulsa to New York JFK airport,

returning to Tulsa the next day on October 17, 2006. In addition to the date of the party being

rescheduled, the theme of the party was also changed from a White Party to a Black Party. Due to

the change of a required colored attire to attend the party, Plaintiff was forced to purchase the

new outfit that was within the new theme and dressed requirements for admittance. Plaintiff and

her sibling had never been to New York City and were excited about their trip and their attendance

at a celebrity party hosted by Defendant Combs. Plaintiff and her sibling rented a limousine to

transport them from the airport to the hotel in an effort to make the most of their free trip.

Upon arrival in NYC, Plaintiff checked into the pre-arranged hotel, the Roger Smith hotel. Plaintiff

was required to pay a cash deposit to the hotel which was provided and paid by Atlantic, the Black

Party. Plaintiff changed into her requisite black outfit and met the Transportation van arranged

by Atlantic employee Mike Savis downstairs at the hotel. Along with Plaintiff and the Transportation

van arranged by Atlantic employee Mike Savis were several other contest winners who won the same

contest in their home cities and were subsequently flown to New York as radio contest winners for

this ditty Black Party. Upon arrival at the location where the Black Party was thrown, Plaintiff and

the other contest winners were forced to wait in line for entrance into the party. Plaintiff and

other contest winners were approved for entry by security based on their appearances and their

attire. Individuals were not let into the party based on their position in line but based on

their attractiveness and attire. After waiting in line for approximately 45 minutes, Plaintiff was

finally granted entry into the party, even though Plaintiff was granted entry or sibling was not,

and Plaintiff was separated from her sibling before realizing her sibling had not been

granted entry into the party. Plaintiff did not see, nor does she remember seeing her sibling

at the party during Plaintiff's time inside the party. While Plaintiff waited in line for entry

to the party, several celebrities walked the red carpet. While inside the party, Plaintiff noticed

other celebrities whose attendance was confirmed by a press coverage of the event. While inside the

party, Plaintiff took pictures with some of the celebrities and attendants, including rappers,

babs from making the band and bone crusher. At one point, Plaintiff met an individual who

were purported to be defendant comms assistant and he befriended Plaintiff, who was alone.

While at the party, defendant Diddy is seen giving a party goer, a party goer he seems

particularly fond of a drink. While at the party, there was no bar for party goers to get drinks.

Instead, pre-May drinks were being circulated throughout the party by waitresses.

After less than two pre-May drinks provided by the waitresses, Plaintiff began to feel sick and

tried to go to the restroom. The next memory Plaintiff has is awakening at St. Vincent's Medical

Center of New York. Plaintiff has no memory or recollection on how she ended up at the hospital.

When Plaintiff regained consciousness at the hospital, she noticed her shirt was ripped,

her underwear was missing, she was not wearing any shoes, and the money that she had traveled with

was stolen. The only money Plaintiff had remaining was a $20 bill. Plaintiff was admitted to the

St. Vincent's Hospital, treated, and released. Upon release from the hospital, Plaintiff a tourist

had no way of knowing how to return to her hotel, as smartphones were not commonplace at the time.

Plaintiff remained in the waiting area of the lobby of the hospital after her release for so long

she was eventually forced out by hospital security. Plaintiff was able to find a book of matches

in her purse bearing the name of the hotel where she was domiciled. Plaintiff then held a taxi

and returned to the hotel using the $20 bill she had left in her purse.

When Plaintiff returned to the hotel, she called a friend and explained she was not sure what

had happened to her, but Plaintiff believed she was drug-disalted robbed, with no memory of how she

arrived at the hospital, as her last memory was being at Diddy's Black Party.

Plaintiff had virtually no time to process or further determine what happened to her, as her

flight back to Oklahoma left at 3.50pm, October 17th, 2024. Less than 24 hours after Plaintiff arrived

in New York City. The day after Plaintiff returned home from New York, she received a call from a New

York area code with an anonymous female caller. The anonymous female caller asked to speak to Plaintiff.

The anonymous female caller then threatened Plaintiff, telling her that any attempts to pursue

anything about Plaintiff's assault would be futile because Defendant Combs was a celebrity,

and that Plaintiff was just wasting her time. Plaintiff was confused and scared as she did not know

what had happened to her. Plaintiff hearing this from an anonymous female caller was further jarring

and traumatizing, as Plaintiff learned that not only was she viciously assaulted,

leading to her waking up at the hospital, but that Defendant Combs was involved and Plaintiff

would be unable to seek justice for her injuries because of Defendant Combs' celebrity status.

When Plaintiff tried to ask the anonymous female caller her name and how she obtained Plaintiff's

phone number, the anonymous female caller hung up. When Plaintiff tried to call the number back,

the number was disconnected. For approximately a week after Plaintiff returned home,

she fell constant pain in the inside and outside of her vagina,

pain she believed was from rough intercourse. However, Plaintiff had no memory of engaging in

intercourse with anyone. Plaintiff did not seek medical treatment or otherwise report her

assault to law enforcement because she was scared and confused. First, because she did not know what

exactly happened to her, second, because of the threats she received from the anonymous female

caller of Defendant Combs' involvement and it being a waste of time due to his celebrity status.

Plaintiff became severely depressed and felt shamed despite not fully remembering what happened to her.

Plaintiff felt betrayed by Defendants, specifically Defendant Combs, as J.C.

BBE Atlantic Crowbar and K.Jams, because she believed attending a party thrown by Defendant Combs

would be a safe environment. Plaintiff felt betrayed by Defendants, as J.C. BBE Atlantic Crowbar

and K.Jams, because they felt a protector despite creating, promoting and financing a contest that

led to her injuries and learned her to an unsafe place without warning. The assault in fear

after the assault led Plaintiff into a talisman of anxiety and depression. Plaintiff was unable to

maintain employment or otherwise be productive member of society for at least a year after her

assault in Battery in New York City. Plaintiff believed Defendants committed the assault and

battery against her solely because of her gender. Plaintiff has been reminded of her assault by

Defendant Combs as he is an inescapable presence in music, television and film. Plaintiff also

has experienced intimacy issues, struggling to maintain emotional and romantic relationships.

Defendant Combs has altered the trajectory of Plaintiff's life. To this day, Plaintiff

experiences bouts of depression, anxiety, body image issues, feelings of worthlessness,

and intimacy issues because of her trauma stemming from the assault. Plaintiff feared for their

violence and or retaliation from Defendant Combs in filing this lawsuit, but since Defendant Combs has

been incarcerated with no bond, Plaintiff feels safe to seek redress for her injuries. Plaintiff

seeks justice for herself and for any other Defendant Combs victims, including the countless victims

who have already filed suit against the Defendant. All right, we're going to wrap up right here,

and in the next episode, we're going to pick up with the first cause of action. All of the

information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. Hi, this is Alex
